Trade Idea Will CJ get traded by the deadline?

My answer this morning is still yes

 

To show Dame they hear him?

It’s pretty easy to see with a revamped roster there is at least an opportunity to give it another go at adding the right pieces. Joe COULD have convinced Dame of that?

Just me spitballing

 

Getting off a valuable contract? That's a bad thing.

 

valuable according to whom? Hollinger didn’t seem to think it was.

 

There no pressure but with 4 teams supposed to be in mixed for CJ the Blazers be wise to wait to pull the trigger the last minute at deadline to pick best offer. But I still don't think it gets until the off season and the deals might not look so good then. I think they need do it now.

 

Yes please.

In his last 2 games, he is averaging, 21.5 points, 9 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.5 blks, shooting 89.5% from the field, 50% from '3', and 80% from the FT line.

Of course that is a very small, recent sample size of 'the way Hayes has been playing', but my goodness, that is insane efficiency.

 

Holey shit. If my wife hadn't already locked me down I'd certainly hook that up. For like 11 seconds...

But I guess that will not happen. Since I'm married...

 

Trading Norm was idiotic. It didn't solve our overcrowded backcourt. Norm was literally the only one of the 4 guards that didn't have to be traded.

 

Here's my answer. Instead of adding a center, we add a guy who has played his best ball at PF (with Detroit). Houston seems to be in multi-year tank mode; they would love those draft picks. Christian Wood and Hart to Portland. Satoransky and Hayes two of three of the draft picks and Murphy to Houston, CJ and minimums to New Orleans.
As part of the deal, Houston would also have to give us Gordon (efg .600 and playing with great energy) for Bledsoe.

If the Blazers can get more back for a player now than in the summer. In theory a team trying to win this year would give up value. Also if the Blazers would want to look at a player they receive for the rest of this season to better plan if they are a long term piece.

If there is no good offer for Blazer players now I agree the team can wait until the summer.

If there is no other trade now it probably makes the Clippers deal look even worse though.

 

powell had no business being on this team

it was mistake to trade for him in the first place

 

Jake Fischer’s article makes it sound like we’re just trying to shed salary for CJ…
If New York and atl are that interested, I really hope we’re getting Randle or Collins back..

 

or Sabonis…..lol

 

It's a VERY well-kept secret.

 

I WOULD DO THAT TRADE YESTERDAY!

Love ya, CJ, but if you're on the Blazers after the deadline that's effectively the end of the NBA season for me.

 

And here we go

 

Wow, CJ might actually be gone for good

 

On of my coy sauces, told me that of the discussions, one has much more traction than the others and that some of the smaller discussions are to facilitate additional participants in a multi-team deal. Then they proceed to chuckle, and not say which one had the most traction.

And then Woj posts that, so it would seem the 'traction' one is the Pelicans. Seems like other teams might get involved though or a 2nd move.
